Did you know that there are different kinds of smoke and soot residues involved in a fire? Wet smoke is caused by low smoldering heat, has a pungent odor, and sticky smoke webs that are more difficult to clean. Dry smoke is caused by fast burning at high temperatures. Protein, which is virtually invisible, discolors paints and varnishes and has an extremely pungent odor. Fuel oil soot is caused when the furnace puffs back, leaving a mess to clean up.
